Spray can of red, spray can of clear lol why haven't you painted that dam thing yet!

 

Nick, This man speaks the truth!


The vent is cast, but it polishes up the same as the aluminum hood...

 

I want it to look nice

 

Nice is over rated... I just want my car to be like a 10ft'er, so the rattle can job was good enough. I know where your coming from though

 

Car looks way better sans stripe and the black rear top area looks great. You should keep the two tone them and move it to the front and paint the lower rocker white.. Did I miss the post, how did you get the lids attached to the hood?

Jake

 

Thanks dude, yea, the rockers will be going white. I used epoxy to attach the lids...gobs of it ...then just some bondo to blend things out a little

 

Are you going to the uconn car show on the 10th? I'm going fo sho.

 

Yea I'll probably head up. We should see if we can get everyone to meet somewhere and head up there together

 

Gotta love the weather!! I made up some clips/tabs to hold the new vent in place and went out for a drive. Heres a couple shots of the car as she sits now with the vent....outside of the garage.

The z34 vent is nice too since it already had threaded studs for mounting

Are you painting the rockers white?

 

Yea, thats on the list of things to do....just trying to finish up everything one item at a time

 

Great work!

 

you need to wrap the top, hood, and headlight covers in that material... would really finish the look... or paint to hood and headlights black...

but the polished looks so sweet... Man, what a quandry... your car not mine.

 

Wrap my carbon top?!

 

stfu

 

f-me I forgot you had the carbon top! nevermind.... I should be so lucky.

 

So when is this car hitting the track. Looks like it would be fast as hell

 

Thats a good question...I'd still gotta get a roll bar, helmet, and get a couple other things squared away. I wish I had'nt spent so much money already this year....I probably wont make it to a track day till next year

 

Shame on you! She deserves better... next time I'm up that way I'll take her for a track date!
